Some key pointers to providing good customer service
Always respond quickly
Responding to a customer quickly shows that you are interested in the customer.
It could make the difference between closing a sale and losing a sale.
Be honest
Never lie to your customer.
If you are unable to meet the customer’s needs, be honest and tell the customer.
Comply with your company’s policies and rules
Make sure your customers have accessibility to the company’s policies related to shipping, pricing, and returns
Keep your customers informed
Keep your customers informed about the status of their orders by email or phone.
This helps the customer know when their order has been shipped or if there is a problem with the order.
Be Flexible
If you develop a good customer service perspective you will find you’ll be far more willing to be flexible with the customer.
Sometimes this means compromising.
If you demonstrate that you are willing to show some flexibility you will not only make the customer happy but you will feel better about the outcome.
Be Consistent
Be ready to provide consistency and professionalism in your interactions with your customers.
Never be rude or dishonest even if you feel the customer is being unacceptable.
